Let's wait and see if they add Paypal after the KS. That way we'll get everything.

You really think they can gather 5 million dollars through PayPal alone after this KS ends at 6million? Pure being waaaay too optimistic.
An early announcement of Shenmue 1 & 2 HD before this KS ends will make this project's backing go through the roof... myself included.
Numbers for July 10:
$39573 earned
374 new backers
Backer change per tier:
If I skip a tier it's because there was no change.
$5 tier, +1
$29 tier, -3
$60 (PC), -12
$60 (PS4), +195
$80 tier, +77
$100 tier, +43
$120 tier, +12
$160 tier, +14
$175 tier, +24
$250 tier, +12
$300 tier, -3
$500 tier, -39
$600 tier, +21
$700 tier, +22
$800 tier, -7
$1200 (Temple), -1
$1200 (Chibi), +20
$1400 tier, +4
$1500 tier, -15
$1800 tier, +6

I believe so, but it needs to be handled correctly. Look how much money Star Citazen made after their campaign ended. More than 60+ million. Surely Shenmue could gain 5 million throughout the next year.
I really hope Awesome Japan and Ys net do this properly.
Morning! Stats updated:

Pleased to see that at least the no. of new backers yesterday did not decline by more than one compared with the day before. Commence Shenmue III-week!

The value of continued donations after the kickstarter is over can't be undersold, though. Really hope somebody is able to explain this to Yu Suzuki before the kickstarter is over.
It needs to happen, and the sooner the better.
Especially for the higher reward tiers, it's a lot easier to buy into a large financial decision when it's spread out across multiple payments. Kickstarter doesn't let you do that...
Again there seems to have been some misunderstandings or misinterpretations on the way. Still interesting to read!

Indeed. We must hit 10mil.
If you have already backed, i think it would be a good idea to reiterate what you said with clarity (first paragraph wasn't clear) in the ks comments section. You have a high chance of it being seen that way. You can also mention it on shenmue dojo under a new thread as i think that would help alot.

Yup. Spot on. I will forever bang my head against the wall in disappointment if he decides not to go through with paypal.
Hell, paypal should have been there from the beginning

Shenmue won't be able to attract as much money purely because of the nature of the games, they can't send out a pre-release version and charge $400 for a costume to fund development. I mean, look at how much Mighty No 9 raised through PayPal. Having said that, a HD remaster announcement after the campaign + Sony marketing could do wonders if PayPal is on the table.

Let's hope everything works out. I think the community have been fantastic throughout the entire campaign. However, i do think there has been too many schoolboy errors from Awesome Japan and Suzuki's constant considerations for alternative payment options (paypal), etc.
Here's hoping for a massive spike in the final 3 days.

Holy shit. I guess people did really prefer to play Shenmue 3 on a console, didn't they?
And to think Red Ash had the balls of announcing its KS without any console version or even a stretch goal for it for days frustrates me.

Well look at the amount of backers for the PS4 physical copy compared to the PC equivalent, it's closing in on double the numbers now. And the PS4 version wasn't even around during all that E3 hype at the beginning of the Kickstarter. That kinda speaks volumes.

Once a Kickstart ends and they charge your credit card it's impossible to predict that 100% of the money KS says a creator gets will ever go through because sometimes the card or the bank will have a problem and the end user just won't resolve it at all and thus wiggling out of backing the project.
Question: why isn't this reflected in the final final tally?
For example: Bloodstained ended with $5,545,000 (not counting PayPal) the second it's KS ended. I had trouble with the card I pledged with so the day after the campaign ended I changed it to another one and the charge happened. KS gives you 2 days after a campaign ends to fix any problems you might have with your credit card.
What if I never got that resolved? Shouldn't the $100 I pledged and were added to the KS amount during the campaign should be subtracted after those 2 days after the end happened? And I know this happens to many and I can only wonder what % of ppl never fix that and thus their pledge gets lost.
Why doesn't KS updates the number with the final one after all charges go through? Isn't it shitty for us to see, for instance, that a campaign achieved a $20,000 stretch goal but after a number of failed pledges the creators actually ended up with less than $20,000 but the backers still expect the stretch goal to get made because we were not made aware?
I can only imagine this might be an even bigger problem with smaller KSs where they get funded after a few thousand dollars and every backer counts!
How does this even work?

The gaming side of my heart had begun to turn black. I was burnt out, but now with Shenmue III and Zero Escape 3 on the way my faith in gaming is back and my heart is a new shade of red. I couldn't ask for anything more at the moment! The fact that the Berserk manga is back is the cherry on top!

No, it isn't. Kickstarter used a similar service (Amazon Payments) for a time but now they deal with the transactions themselves. They now work only with credit cards.

No use in announcing Pay Pal right now. They want those last few days to bring in as much money as possible. They'll probably announce it once the kick-starter is over. Also, this is going well over 5.1 million. Fact.

Aw nah, Shenhua was perfect!
They changed her face ages ago. It looks better.
Seconded.
Thirded.
The faces from DC Shenmue were a good blend of realism, but not too much. Those simple emote animations don't work at all on the more realistic visage of UE4 models.

Her old face was the very definition of 'generic female videogame face number 80,953'. At least now she looks Chinese.
Her massive ears were quite distinctive. In-game.

I'd say a good balance for Shenhua would be somewhere in-between her Shenmue 1/2 CGi look and her current UE4 concept. I liked the old models, but there's a woodeness/puppetness to their look that could be improved with the tech nowadays for skin shaders and textures.
As for Ryo, I'd say his old, even the 'in-game' look should be closer to what they should strive for, at least 80:20 in favour of his old design. It has a wooden feel to it as well, but I feel it works better with Ryo, given his taciturn character.

Yay, finally have my Dreamcast hooked up to my GT50 for Shenmue goodness. I have the UK GT50 and it doesn't have a VGA connection. Bought a cheap VGA to HDMI converter on Ebay which also had an input for red/white audio (I got a VGA dreamcast cable, not a switch box).
Shenmue in "1080p" here we come.

those projections don't mean anything though.Shenmue 3's expected projection has been lowered by Kicktraq today.
Now, in the better perspective, Shenmue 3 should finish at the second place after Bloodstained and its 5.45M$.
they only take into account the previous day's pledges.
That's without any last minute boost, that most projects seem to get.Shenmue 3's expected projection has been lowered by Kicktraq today.
